Serial production of the Skoda Kylaq crossover has started – it will cost less than a million
Skoda has launched serial production of the Kylaq crossover. This is a compact SUV designed specifically for India and other developing countries. Its main advantages are its low price and a rich level of equipment for its class.
Cars are produced in the city of Pune, which is located 150 km from Mumbai. The Skoda Kylaq will increase the plant's capacity by 30%. This means that the company will be able to assemble more than 255 thousand cars per year.
The Kylaq is the third model of the Skoda brand, developed for India and emerging markets. The car is based on the MQB A0-IN chassis.

Unlike Kushaq and Slavia, the Kylaq crossover is the first production Skoda car less than four meters long. The production is purposeful, because it is these compact models that are popular in India. Moreover, they account for 50% of sales on the local market. And this is not just so - such are the peculiarities of Indian legislation.
The Skoda brand management specifically gave local drivers the opportunity to name the new crossover themselves. First, they chose several best suggestions, and then held a public vote. The winning word was "Kylaq", which is translated from Sanskrit as "crystal".
Despite its compact dimensions, the interior of the new crossover is spacious. Five people can fit inside, plus there is still space for a luggage compartment with 446 hp. They did not forget about safety, primarily active. The manufacturer declared 25 corresponding options, including six airbags and a multi-point braking system.

Under the hood of Skoda Kylaq there is no alternative turbo petrol engine. Its working volume is 1,0 liters, and the power is 115 hp. Gearboxes are offered to choose from - mechanical and automatic. Naturally, in the latter case, the cars will cost more.
In the class of compact crossovers less than four meters long, Skoda Kylaq surprises with ventilated front seats. They also have electric adjustments in six ranges. The manufacturer claims that no other model in this class can boast of this.
But the most important advantage of Skoda Kylaq is the price. They promise that it will be less than 9 thousand dollars (930 thousand rubles).
